The Last Plague

1 Now the LORD° said° to Moses°, “One° more° plague° I will bring° on Pharaoh° and on Egypt°; aafter° that he will let° you go° from here°. When he lets° you go°, he will surely° drive° you out from here° completely°.
2 Speak° now° in the Ihearing° of the people° that aeach° man° ask° from his neighbor° and each° woman° from her neighbor° for articles° of silver° and articles° of gold°.”
3aThe LORD° gave° the people° favor° in the sight° of the Egyptians°. bFurthermore°, the man° Moses° [himself] was Igreatly° esteemed in the land° of Egypt°, [both] in the sight° of Pharaoh’s° servants° and in the sight° of the people°.

4 ¶ Moses° said°, “Thus° says° the LORD°, ‘About amidnight°° I am going° out into the midst° of Egypt°,
5 and aall° the firstborn° in the land° of Egypt° shall die°, from the firstborn° of the Pharaoh° who sits° on his throne°, even° to the firstborn° of the slave° girl° who° is behind° the millstones°; all° the firstborn° of the cattle° as well.
6 Moreover, there shall be aa great° cry° in all° the land° of Egypt°, such°° as there has not been° [before] and such° as shall never° be again°.
7aBut against any° of the sons° of Israel° a dog° will not [even] Ibark°°, whether° against man° or° beast°, that you may IIunderstand° how° the LORD° makes° a distinction° between° Egypt° and Israel°.’
8aAll° these° your servants° will come° down° to me and bow° themselves Ibefore me, saying°, ‘Go° out, you and all° the people° who°IIfollow° you,’ and after° that I will go° out.” bAnd he went° out from Pharaoh° in hot° anger°.

9 ¶ Then the LORD° said° to Moses°, “aPharaoh° will not listen° to you, so°bthat My wonders° will be multiplied° in the land° of Egypt°.”
10aMoses° and Aaron° performed° all° these° wonders° before° Pharaoh°; yet bthe LORD°Ihardened° Pharaoh’s° heart°, and he did not let° the sons° of Israel° go° out of his land°.
